Ethletic Shoes - A Fair Trade Product on RUNKA!

    RUNKA.com carries Ethletic Shoes, which are a Fair Trade product from the Autonomie Company.  The following is a description of their commitment to Fair Trade and eco friendly business practices from their site:

Launched in late 2007, the founders of Autonomie Project were inspired by the lack in the social marketplace of a truly wearable & affordable ethical clothing brand. Autonomie Project supplies high-quality garments at competitive prices to consumers that wish to make purchases with a social and environmental impact without having to sacrifice their own personal style, or break their wallet. We hope to inspire our consumers to take action and help us uplift the communities of workers around the world that produce our goods.

We work exclusively with small, independent cooperatives and Fair Trade-certified facilities located in developing areas of the world where we can also allot a portion of our funds to be used for initiatives that will affect their entire community, such as building a health clinic or bringing a steady water supply to a small village. We provide our workers with a fair wage so they can beat out sweatshops and enjoy a healthy, sustainable lifestyle. We assist them with the development, design, and marketing of their products so that their businesses may prosper and become thriving participants in a reconfigured global marketplace.
 
We use organic cotton, all natural FSC rubber, and other eco-friendly & locally-sourced materials whenever possible to lessen our environmental impact. We never use animal products and encourage cruelty-free purchases and practices.

 

    These are the Fair Trade shoes available on RUNKA.com.  RUNKA is fortunate to have the Autonomie Project as a partner in our mission to spread the word about green, eco friendly, renewable and Fair Trade products.
